Electromagnetic Spectrum

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Front

What happens to energy as the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases?

Back

As the wavelength decreases, the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave is used in microwave ovens?

Back

Microwaves are used in microwave ovens.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum can humans see?

Back

Humans can see visible light, which is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What type of electromagnetic radiation is used for communication?

Back

Radio waves are commonly used for communication.

Front

What are X-rays used for?

Back

X-rays are used in medical imaging to view the inside of the body.

Front

What is the order of electromagnetic waves from longest to shortest wavelength?

Back

The order is: Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave has a higher frequency than visible light?

Back
